Definitions.

As used in this Article, unless the context requires otherwise:

"Adjusted gross hospital revenue" shall be determined separately for inpatient and outpatient services for each hospital conducted, operated or maintained by a hospital provider, and means the hospital provider’s total gross revenues less:

(i) gross revenue attributable to non-hospital based services including home dialysis services, durable medical equipment, ambulance services, outpatient clinics and any other non-hospital based services as determined by the Illinois Department by rule;

and (ii) gross revenues SB0157 Enrolled - 17 - LRB094 07276 DRJ 37433 b attributable to the routine services provided to persons receiving skilled or intermediate long-term care services within the meaning of Title XVIII or XIX of the Social Security Act;

If a hospital’s 2003 Medicare cost report is not contained in the Healthcare Cost Report Information System, the hospital provider shall furnish such cost report or the data necessary to determine its adjusted gross hospital revenue as required by rule by the Illinois Department.

Assessment;

no local authorization to tax.

The Department of Public Aid shall use the number of occupied bed days as reported by each hospital on the Annual Survey of Hospitals conducted by the Department of Public Health to calculate the hospital’s annual assessment.

If the sum of a hospital’s occupied bed days is not reported on the Annual Survey of Hospitals or if there are data errors in the reported sum of a hospital’s occupied bed days as determined by the Department of Public Aid, then the Department of Public Aid may obtain the sum of occupied bed days from any source available, including, but not limited to, records maintained by the hospital provider, which may be inspected at all times during business hours of the day by the Department of Public Aid or its duly authorized agents and employees.

Subject to Sections 5A-3 and 5A-10, for the privilege of engaging in the occupation of hospital provider, beginning August 1, 2005, an annual assessment is imposed on each hospital provider for State fiscal years 2006, 2007, and 2008, in an amount equal to 2.5835% of the hospital provider’s adjusted gross hospital revenue for inpatient services and 2.5835% of the hospital provider’s adjusted gross hospital SB0157 Enrolled - 19 - LRB094 07276 DRJ 37433 b revenue for outpatient services.

If the hospital provider’s adjusted gross hospital revenue is not available, then the Illinois Department may obtain the hospital provider’s adjusted gross hospital revenue from any source available, including, but not limited to, records maintained by the hospital provider, which may be inspected at all times during business hours of the day by the Illinois Department or its duly authorized agents and employees.

(b) Nothing in this Article amendatory Act of the 93rd General Assembly shall be construed to authorize any home rule unit or other unit of local government to license for revenue or to impose a tax or assessment upon hospital providers or the occupation of hospital provider, or a tax or assessment measured by the income or earnings of a hospital provider.

Department of Health and Human Services that the payment methodologies required under Section 5A-12 or Section 5A-12.1, whichever is applicable for that fiscal year, and, if necessary, the waiver granted under 42 CFR 433.68 have been approved.

The notice shall be on a form prepared by the Illinois Department and shall state the following:

(1) The name of the hospital provider.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article, in the case of a person who ceases to conduct, operate, or maintain a hospital in respect of which the person is subject to assessment under this Article as a hospital provider, the assessment for the State fiscal year in which the cessation occurs shall be adjusted by multiplying the assessment computed under Section 5A-2 by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days in the year during which the provider conducts, operates, or maintains the hospital and the denominator of which is 365.

Immediately upon ceasing to conduct, operate, or maintain a hospital, the person shall pay the assessment for the year as so adjusted (to the extent not previously paid).

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article, for State fiscal years 2004 and 2005, in the case of a hospital provider that did not conduct, operate, or maintain a hospital throughout calendar year 2001, the assessment for that State fiscal year shall be computed on the basis of hypothetical occupied bed days for the full calendar year as determined by the Illinois Department.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Article, for State fiscal years after 2005, in the case of a hospital provider that did not conduct, operate, or maintain a hospital in 2003, the assessment for that State fiscal year shall be computed on the basis of hypothetical adjusted gross hospital revenue for the hospital’s first full SB0157 Enrolled - 24 - LRB094 07276 DRJ 37433 b fiscal year as determined by the Illinois Department (which may be based on annualization of the provider’s actual revenues for a portion of the year, or revenues of a comparable hospital for the year, including revenues realized by a prior provider of the same hospital during the year).

(f) Every hospital provider subject to assessment under this Article shall keep sufficient records to permit the determination of adjusted gross hospital revenue for the hospital’s fiscal year.

All such records shall be kept in the English language and shall, at all times during regular business hours of the day, be subject to inspection by the Illinois Department or its duly authorized agents and employees.

(Blank).

(g) The Illinois Department may, by rule, provide a hospital provider a reasonable opportunity to request a clarification or correction of any clerical or computational errors contained in the calculation of its assessment, but such corrections shall not extend to updating the cost report information used to calculate the assessment.
